Jakob Homan commented on GIRAPH-82: ----------------------------------- I'd say IllegalStateException. However, is this JIRA still true? I can't remember if it got changed at some point, perhaps when bin/giraph was introduced... > Remove default of using ImmutableOutputCommitter > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: GIRAPH-82 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-82 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jakob Homan > > Currently if no outputformat is specified we default to > ImmutableOutputCommitter, essentially piping the results of the work out to > /dev/null. This is a useful output option in some cases, but the default > probably shouldn't be to throw away work. Making outputformat a required > option and providing DevNullOutputFormat, or whatever, would likely save some > surprise from users. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
